I am using this opportunity to express my gratitude to
everyone who supported me throughout the course
of this project.
I am thankful for their aspiring guidance, invaluably
constructive criticism and friendly
advice during the project work. I am sincerely grateful
to them for sharing their truthful and
illuminating views on a number of issues related to
the project.
I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude
to my teacher Mr.Najumudeen as well as our
principal Mr.Krishnamoorthy who gave me the golden
opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic
“Effect of Metal Coupling on Corrosion”, which also
helped me in doing a lot of Research and
I came to know about so many new things I am really
thankful to them.
Secondly I would also like to thank my parents and
friends who helped me a lot in finalizing this project
within the limited time frame.

• Corrosion is the gradual destruction of materials
(usually metals) by chemical reaction with their
environment.
• Corrosion is a serious problem of some metals
like iron, zinc, aluminium and alloys like brass
which are commonly used in day to day life.
• Basically , this means
electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction
with an oxidant such as oxygen.
• Rusting, the formation of iron oxides, is a well-
known example of electrochemical corrosion.
This type of damage typically produces oxide(s)
or salt(s) of the original metal.
• Corrosion can also occur in materials other than
metals, such as ceramics or polymers, although in
this context, the term degradation is more
common.
• Corrosion degrades the useful properties of
materials and structures including strength,
appearance and permeability to liquids and
gases.
EXAMPLES OF
CORROSION
• Some metals are more intrinsically resistant to
corrosion than others .
• There are various ways of protecting metals from
corrosion (oxidation) including painting, hot dip
galvanizing, and combinations of these.
